Rainbow mountain at its best.

After a very early pickup we had a great drive to the Rainbow Mountain. Breakfast was served quickly and very hot in the cool morning. The company of the guide, the cooks and the driver was great. Our driver was excellent at finding the quickest ways to get around traffic. Once we got to the mountain Alejandro really took care of us. Giving us some Eucalyptis oil to help our breathing. We took it very slow, about mid way seeing that one of us was strugling he took many of the things we had in our day packs to lighten our load. He then was able to negotiate a motorcycle ride for one of us to get all the way up. Alejandro is a great photographer and knows which shots to take. He helped us get all the iconic ones from the mountain. Lunch was served very hot again. It was all but ready when we got there. We were set up in a tent to protect us from the wind and sun. The cooks and driver were very quick at getting things ready and cleaned up after lunch. Lunch was a veritable feast. 5 courses with soup, avocado, cevice and a whole lot more. Doing this tour with TrexExperience was a great experience.

Rainbow Mtn with guide Alejandro

Overall this was an excellent trip. The driver was calm and safe which is always a great start. Freddie the chef treated us with a fabulous breakfast and lunch just before rainbow mountain. The table was set like a fancy restaurant even had a vase with real red roses ! Alejandro was our guide, a really kind and decent young man. He has excellent knowledge of the the rainbow mountain and red valley area. The trail is around 5000m altitude and can take a bit of effort, Alejandro keeps the mood light and relaxed. Our group had a mixture of some fast walkers and some slower ones. He allowed the faster ones to do extra side trips so they didn't feel restricted. There was no time pressure or rush for the tour to meet a schedule, we were allowed as much time as we all wanted to experience the region. Alejandro coordinated and managed this very professionally. Like so many TreXperience guides he will tell you where to take the best photo; often suggesting a pose and he will even jump into the shot if you want. His English is also excellent. No hesitation recommending this trip and especially Alejandro.

Great day with Alejandro and Bernardino.

A great day visiting Vinicunca and the Red Valley, one of the wonders of Peru. The interest and accompaniment of our guide Alejandro, along with the food prepared by Bernardino, have made this day stay in our memory forever. Thank you Bernardino, thank you Alejandro, we will always remember you. Tupananchiskama!!!
